    Truthfully, I think the four of you were so thrilled to be together that you could have eaten hot dogs and been just as happy. What an experience!

    As the mother of two sons, I was so touched by the effort that went in to planning this special day for the parents. I smiled and cried watching it. What an extraordinary family!

    I'm not a mom but even I was in tears when Sky finally got there to join the rest of you. What a super evening for you and your family. That is something that you'll remember for the rest of your lives. Was it expensive? Yeah, but like you said, the experience for the ones you love was absolutely worth it. Thank you for sharing your experience. My life feels richer for having 'been there' with you.

    Sir, can you please stop making me cry every time I open one of your videos? Your storytelling is truly three-dimensional! 😍 It's such a beautiful surprise, and what I enjoy the most about your family is that you all exude so much love for life that it's just purely therapeutic to watch. Thank you for sharing! 🥰

    I just moved to Paris from New York -- where my entire family is and has been my entire life. The feelings you shared about cherishing the time with them when they're close to you are all the more relatable now that I'm across the world from my own parents and sister and missing out on those special moments. As always, love your videos and appreciate your stories!

    With a family of 4 boys living all over the US and Finland, we really appreciated the reunion aspect of this video. We’ve followed your parents on their journey to France since we are hopefully doing the same next year. It was also fun to see KJ pop up as we have followed their story as well. Great video!

  • @ChristellaBihozo
    @ChristellaBihozo 6 місяців тому +6

    This is so heartwarming! I would also recommend the restaurant “Le train bleu” in Gare de Lyon - wayyy more affordable but still high-end the restaurant is absolutely stunning (like a renaissance museum really) and the food is also insane!

    Your father speaks A LOT about food in his videos so I knew he would love it. My husband and I ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Italy for our 30th anniversary and had a similar experience…minus the view. But being there together is what made the video. Much love from Gensac-your neighbor in the SW.

    I came from a family of five, being the youngest of three children. Last week my older brother passed away. He was preceded in death by my sister, mother and father. So this week has been spent in contemplation, as I pondered being the final survivor of the original nuclear family. Your video touched me with the reminder that the special moments spent with family is the single greatest treasure we can have as we age. Those deep interactions with the people we share a history and a perception of the world with, are priceless. I truly loved this video and being able to watch a special connection you obviously comprehend and cherish with your family. Thank you for sharing it!

    Really appreciate this video, Nathaniel! I myself realized that when we are younger we are striving to be independent, far from our home - making the future for ourselves, just to prove ourselves worthy to the world. But as we age, we always look to reconnect and get back with our parents, realizing how important the family community is. Been following your work since the days in Mexico! Really happy to see all your progress, great work!

Being a parent is hard, and we often wonder if we did a good job or not, but when your children do special things like this, it confirms it was all worth it and you did something good. You are all lucky to have each other!

    @themoores4467 5 місяців тому

    Oh how wonderful! This was joyful - when you hear people speak passionately about food - this is why! A few years back, hubby and I had this same type of experience at Per Se in NYC - where the love, passion, and respect for food and service was shown by everyone there and I simply could not express my joy and gratefulness enough although I had a similar expression as your parents - eyes shut, gentle smile and a little nod. How wonderful for all of you!
